I haven't done anything with cron. I have yet to read about what it's
for.

Should I just rm everything out of the /tmp directory?
In kppp check your connection speed.
Setup -> Device -> Connection Speed
Try setting it to 115200 and see if that helps.

Jim,
Make a directory in your /mnt/ directory called /zip from root prompt-- cd
/mnt/
then mkdir /zip
then go to your /etc/fstab file and add this line
/dev/hdxx /zipvfatuser,noauto,rw 0 0
hdxx being whatever your zip drive is mine is hdd4

Do you check in the Bios of the MylexD960PG... Probably you boot directly on
the Raid system. Do you have another hard drive in your box? If you have an
hard drive try to boot the rootfs on this drive and then activate and mount
your raid system. Hope this help

Hi All,
I'm pretty new at this stuff, I'm trying to install kxicq on my machine. But
it says that I need a compiler, well I looked through my mandrake 6 box and
installed colorgcc. But when I run ./configure it says that the gcc can't
create an excutable. Any ideas on what I should do?
Thanks
Opps i wasn't done,

You might be interested in the Bash-Prompt-HOWTO. It goes into much more
detail than I can/will here, and should be available in /usr/doc/HOWTO or
if you didn't install the documentation, at

I don't work with computer technology except to type lesson plans

Hmm. on 'echo $USERNAME' I get root if I've logged in as root, even
while logged in as someone else with 'su', but nothing if I've logged in

With 'echo $LOGNAME' I get the user currently logged in as, for example,

AS far as I know the gate way is set right. All the
windows machines in the office have a gateway of 216.172.53.65. That's
what I set my Linux to. Where are the ISDN tools in linux? I am a
little lost as I have only had Linux for two weeks now. I would use it
alot more if I could switch

Because:
